The infrastructure development industry plays a pivotal role in shaping modern urban land-scapes and strengthening societal re-silience. As industrial real estate devel-opers, companies in this sector provide specialized expertise in the planning, designing, and executing of complex projects, spanning transportation, man-ufacturing, and public infrastructure. In this evolving landscape, KSH INFRA dis-tinguishes itself as a frontrunner. Having delivered over 4 million square feet of premier industrial and logistical assets, the Company is ambitiously aiming to expand its portfolio to 10 million square feet within the next 5 years. KSH INFRA builds smarter, more sustainable Indus-trial & Logistics Parks that prioritize en-vironmental stewardship and communi-ty well-being, setting a new standard for green, efficient development in India's industrial real estate sector.
Sustainable Industrial De-velopment
In India’s industrial real estate sector, KSH INFRA stands out not only for its scale and quality but also for its commitment to environmental responsibility. Long before the Ministry of Environment, Forest, and Climate Change (MoEF) announced new regulatory requirements, KSH INFRA had already made sustainability a core value, evident in its EDGE and IGBC Platinum Pre-certified parks, which prioritize eco-sensitive construction materials, solar energy, and water recycling systems. Historically, projects below 150,000 square meters (around 1.6 million square feet) were exempt from MoEF approval, allowing KSH INFRA to develop its parks without needing specific environmental permits.
However, with new regulations that have taken effect since March 2024, all parks exceeding 20,000 square meters will require MoEF clearance. This significant shift aligns industrial developments with the standards typically applied to residential & commercial real estate projects.
“Most of our client demand is generated through a strong intermediary network, including both local facilitators and International Property Consultants such as CBRE, JLL, etc. When a prospective client reaches out with specific needs, let’s say, a 100,000-square-foot facility, we start by presenting a preliminary proposal and arranging a site visit of our parks. This visit gives clients a firsthand look at our high-quality facilities, where they can also observe other companies already in operation”, speaks Sundaresan Vaidyanathan, CEO, KSH INFRA. Once a client’s specifications are fully understood, the organization’s design team steps in and creates customized layouts that perfectly match the client’s needs. From this point forward, KSH INFRA guides clients through every stage of the process, from redesign, commercial discussions, tenant improvements, re-approval and finally to the moment they move in and commence their operations within their new facility, ensuring a seamless, efficient, and rewarding transition.
Positioning itself as a supply chain domain expert, KSH Group has established a formidable presence through its three key entities, namely KSH Integrated Logistics, specializing in Third-party (3PL) Logistics, KSH Distriparks, handling its Inland Container Depot (ICD) operations at Talegaon, and KSH INFRA, focused on Industrial & Logistics real estate development. Together, these entities manage every aspect of product logistics from manufacturing, transportation, storage, packaging, and billing, which enables KSH Group to streamline operations and drive efficiencies across the supply chain. This comprehensive approach has allowed the Group to secure premium commercial terms with its clients.
By partnering with Global Private Equity Investors & focusing on key industrial hubs, we aim to redefine the Industrial & Logistics landscape
Looking ahead, KSH INFRA is committed to significant expansion by aligning with Private Equity investors to diversify and grow its portfolio. “Our goal over the next 3 – 4 years is to target ‘industrial-intensive’ markets such as Pune, Chennai, Bangalore & Mumbai. These cities offer robust industrial ecosystems and immense warehousing potential, making them ideal for our portfolio, which we aim to expand to 10 million square feet. After reaching this milestone, we plan to explore opportunities in other metros & tier II cities”, adds Sundaresan. The firm has developed 4 million square feet and invested over ₹1300 crores ($155 million) in Pune. They’ve also acquired their first project outside Pune, in Hosur, with a 1.25 million square feet development potential.
